Just like the old days, you guys trying to kick my ass with brute force:D
Take her down to 2600Mhz and take me, it'll feel much better:D
Either that or I'll phase change the Winnie and extend the lead;)
Great job misteroadster and skate, looks like you'll be forcing me to volt mod sooner than anticipated:up:
Randi:D
héhé , do you use LOD bias mr icee ?
We all do sir:)
Randi:D
arf , i tried LOD with riva tuner but it set my GPU clock to stock freq :/.
Weird.
How do you increase the LOD ? :rolleyes:
THX :toast:
That's a strange thing Misterroadster. Of course it should work.
I managed a 4400+ on 05 last night at 645/1230 but the green triangles were so bad that at the end Futuremark refused to accept the score.
Now I cannot get anthing else out of the card I will take more severe measures to get the epoxied globalwin copper heatsink off, ie warming it with hairdryer so it is hot then plunging in my glycol/methanol mexiture at -20C then a tap from a hammer.
Regards
Andy
well no more fun for me then i think, today i think my 6600gt gave up, the sick thing was that i ran stock with stock cooler and was viewing the webb and then i heard a pfft and the computer shut down and smelling electric fire, tryes to start it again but it stops when the 3leds from the left is lighting so what can be wrong??Quote:

I just posted you this via PM http://www.aocb77.dsl.pipex.com/6600gtcooling.jpg
but I guess you might not be interested in attaching the cooler now unfortunately. I have decided, maybe in vain hope, that the AGP bridge chip ( which runs very hot ) is causing the problems so I have stuck part of an MX 4000 heatsink on it ( the rest is being used as RAM cooling ). I think I'm clutching at straws to be honest.

yeah saw your pm , i got a PCI E card and im looking for a pci card now to check but im hoping that my mobo and cpu survived and that its ust the graphic that diedQuote:

I gain nothing :/
10 is too high so there is not much to draw. Get it between 4-5....
I think I'm out since I think my card died during the night:(. Extreme artifacts as soon as it starts.... Cant see nothing... At any volts, from 1.2V to 1.75V...
is the sparkle a good card?
Andy, a hairfan won't do it. Go to your local floorball store (as in plastic hockey sticks and gymhall), ask the nice people if you can borrow a heatgun. These things are used to get the floorball-stick heads extremely soft, so they can be bent easily and precisely.
If applied over a long enough period of time, the heat-gun can turn the plastic into a liquidy material. So it should be good enough for getting that epoxy sink off ;)
Damn, these cards just keep on dying. When that happens I just through them into a tub of anti-corrosive water solution, leave them at it for a while and then spend about 4 days hair drying it. Sometimes they come back to life, at other times it jsut finishes them off :D
I hope mine won't die, I have some trouble measuring the VGPU, as my coffee hands arent the best for the fine point of the VGPU measure :) I get a reading before it enters windows, but once I'm in windows I get nothing. Is this normal?
Looks like the method perhaps isn't as soft as you hoped for? EIther way, Randi has a valid point, these do seem to smoke easily. I dont think I'll go over 1,65.Quote:

Some people in this forum have mentioned "clean it up real good and send it back" in regards to a FX-55, what do you do? Doing so is of course morally and perhaps legally incorrect :rolleyes:
I tried many LOD settings but no gain :(Quote:

I had a roughly 200 point gain in 05.Quote:

Thanks
Jason
around the same..... Maybe 1 higher...
For my 03 run I had it at 3,0
My 05 was 0,5 , though I still have to find the optimum value.
For normal games I use -0,5 to -0,6

I will RMA too, but it will be harder:D, but TBH, I think it naturally died....
Argghhhh I cant afford to wait 1 month to have a replacement.... Mabe they accept quick RMA... (they ship first...)
specs, cooling?
Maybe next time you guys will listen to the 3D Captains advice;) You can't say I didn't warn you, but knowing you were trying to take me down doing it makes it acceptable:)Quote:
